VERSE 1
Dm F
It's empty in the valley of your heart
Dm F
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Dm F Am F Bb F
Away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind

But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat
CHORUS

But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again
Dm F x2

VERSE 2
Dm F
Cause I have other things to fill my time
Dm F
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Dm F Am F Bb F
Now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind
Dm F
So tie me to a post and block my ears
Dm F
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
Dm F Am F Bb F
I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears
